Netflix’s hit series Wednesday took the world by storm in 2022, blending dark humor, supernatural mysteries, and Jenna Ortega’s iconic portrayal of the Addams Family’s deadpan heroine. With Season 2 confirmed and filming underway, fans are buzzing with theories about what’s next for Nevermore Academy’s quirkiest outcast. From cryptic stalkers to resurrected characters, here are the most compelling Wednesday Season 2 fan theories — and why they might just be right.
The Season 1 finale left Wednesday with a chilling text: “Someone is still watching you.” This mysterious stalker has sparked endless speculation. Could it be Vincent Thorpe, Xavier’s absentee psychic father, whose powers and vague backstory make him suspicious? Or might Tyler Galpin return for revenge, despite his arrest? After all, the post-credits scene showed him transforming into the Hyde again, hinting he’s far from defeated.
Another wild card? Xavier Thorpe himself. Though he harbored romantic feelings for Wednesday, Season 2’s focus on horror over romance (confirmed by Jenna Ortega) suggests darker motives. Could his obsession with Wednesday turn sinister?
Gwendoline Christie’s fan-favorite character, Principal Larissa Weems, seemingly died in Season 1 — but in a world with shape-shifters and resurrected Pilgrims, death isn’t always final. Christie herself teased, “Never say never,” and fans speculate Weems faked her demise using her shape-shifting abilities. Alternatively, she could return as a ghost or through supernatural means, guiding Wednesday from beyond.
Others theorize Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) might step in as Nevermore’s new principal. This would reunite Morticia with her alma mater and force Wednesday to confront her complicated relationship with her mother. Plus, it’d open the door for Gomez (Luis Guzmán) to wreak havoc on campus!
Joy Sunday’s Bianca Barclay emerged as a standout in Season 1, defying the “mean girl” trope. Her storyline with the manipulative Morning Song cult, led by her mother, is ripe for expansion. Season 2 could see Bianca torn between defying the cult or being pulled back into its orbit. Given her alliance with Wednesday, this arc might mirror Wednesday’s own struggles with family expectations — and position the cult as a major antagonist.
Emma Myers’ Enid Sinclair stole hearts as Wednesday’s neon-werewolf roommate. After her epic transformation in Season 1, fans expect her to explore her newfound powers further. But the bigger question: Could Enid and Wednesday’s friendship turn romantic?
While showrunners have downplayed romance for Season 2, subtle clues — like Enid’s dark makeover in teasers and her emotional investment in Wednesday — hint at a slow-burn bond. Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers have both teased deeper layers to their dynamic, with Myers stating, “They deeply care for each other… possibly love.”
A glaring absence in Season 1 was Grandmama Addams, the family’s eccentric witch. Season 2 plans to introduce her, played by Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous). Theories suggest she’ll summon Wednesday to the Addams Mansion to confront a ancestral curse or unravel Nevermore’s secrets. Given the school’s history with witches (like ancestor Goody Addams), Grandmama’s arrival could tie into a larger mystery — or even revive the Nightshades Society.
Bonus: Cousin Itt might finally debut, joining Grandmama in a long-overdue Addams family reunion.
Fred Armisen’s Uncle Fester was a Season 1 highlight, but fans suspect his return might hide darker intentions. Some theorize the Fester we saw was actually Principal Weems in disguise, given her shape-shifting skills. Others believe Fester’s “vacation” is a cover for shady dealings that could endanger Wednesday. Either way, his chaotic energy is sure to spark trouble.
Jenna Ortega’s dual role as Goody Addams, Wednesday’s ancestor, ended with Goody’s farewell: “You’ll never see me again.” But in a supernatural world, promises are made to be broken. Redditors speculate Goody could return as a villain manipulating Wednesday, or her spirit might be replaced by a malevolent ancestor (saving Netflix from hiring another actor).
Though Christina Ricci’s Laurel Gates/Thornhill was defeated, her influence lingers. Tyler’s Hyde transformation teases his return, possibly under new control. Additionally, Thornhill’s cryptic warning about “allies” suggests Season 2 could introduce a secret society or vengeful Gates family members targeting Nevermore.
Wednesday Season 2 Fan Theories promises deeper mysteries, darker twists, and plenty of Addams Family chaos. Whether these theories hit the mark or not, one thing’s certain: Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday will keep us glued to our screens.
